An honest comparison
Both are capable tools. Here is where each one tends to fit best.
PayCamp is the better fit for
UK marinas and parks that want UK-native VAT, BSS and electricity metering and flat monthly pricing.
NewBook is the better fit for
Larger or international holiday-park operators who need NewBook’s deep PMS feature set and are comfortable with per-unit or per-booking pricing.
The key difference
NewBook is a powerful, internationally-built PMS. PayCamp is UK-first and simpler, with flat pricing and no per-booking fees.
Typical PayCamp operator
A UK marina or park that wants capable software without enterprise complexity or cost.
Where PayCamp is stronger
Built for UK operators — £, VAT, BSS compliance are native, not bolted on
Flat monthly pricing with no per-berth or per-booking charges
PayCamp Hire and PayCamp Yards are part of the same system, not separate purchases
